In 2005, Imogen Heap independently wrote, produced, arranged, and funded her second album, 'Speak For Yourself', without a record label's support. She went all - in, even mortgaging her London flat. This attitude shines through in the music, with rich layers of piano, sparkling synths, and her fluttering vocals. The album features a guest appearance by Jeff Beck, bringing a breath of fresh air with Heap's unique personality. Many tracks have been featured in TV, film, and hip - hop samples. For example, 'Hide and Seek', 'Speeding Cars', and 'Goodnight and Go' were on 'The O.C.', and 'Hide and Seek' promoted 'Lost'. This pressing by Music On Vinyl is a gem. Pressed on 180g transparent yellow vinyl, it's limited to 2,000 numbered copies. It comes with a printed innersleeve and a 4 - page booklet with pictures and lyrics. There are 12 tracks in total, including 'Just For Now' sampled by Clams Casino. Music label: Music On Vinyl 2019. Reviewed by Rafiki 2/2019.
Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently lower the needle, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on it. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources. When not in use, put it back in its sleeve to protect it from scratches. The booklet and innersleeve add to the charm of the product, so handle them carefully too. Enjoy this unique musical experience with Imogen Heap's 'Speak For Yourself'.
